🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • offset — the offset (in bytes) of the word(s) to write. note it's in bytes bestie, not words. iykyk.
  • words — size of data to write in words. this one is words. yeah, they're different units, don't come for me.
  • data — pointer to the word(s) to write at offset. the actual payload, the main character of the whole operation ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the source file that started it all:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/ich8lan.c

and then... the friend group. the whole group chat. everybody she's ever been in a call with. not me listing every single one but like, facts are facts 💀:

bestie that's a LOT of friends and every single one of them is listed up there. don't skip a single one, they notice. 👀

okay that's the page!! and before you go — the little footer at the bottom is doing its own thing: the source/version line is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... and the date is October 2026, and it's all filed under e1000_write_nvm_ich8lan(9). cute, right? 🎀✨💖 bye bestie, go write some words to that NVM 🦋
